Ticket Information

Event Details

Growth hacking is a discipline dedicated to finding innovative, low-cost alternatives to traditional marketing. This event will look at how small business and entrepreneurs can leverage new technology, social media and support programmes to quickly build their business.

The Growth Hacking methodology uses technology to quickly build and develop a business, utilising digital tactics for market research and marketing purposes. Employing cloud-based tools for management, Growth Hackers make the most of current innovations to allow entrepreneurs to test their business and change it rapidly.

Social media allows unparalleled reach, opening up the channels of communication with both potential and existing customers at a global scale. Funding opportunities are blooming thanks to government-backed Startup Loans, whilst crowdfunding platforms are providing access to additional investment.

Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world’s largest campaign to promote entrepreneurship. Each year, it plays a critical role in encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs to consider starting up their own business.

In the UK, the campaign is hosted by Youth Business International, a global network of initiatives that help young entrepreneurs to start their own business, in partnership with Barclays.

We believe that a large national campaign to promote entrepreneurship is a vital part of making the UK more entrepreneurial, to encourage more people to start up their own business.

Our aim is to create a collaborative, local and practical week which enables people to learn more about the wealth of support that is available to entrepreneurs in the UK. 20% of UK adults have heard of Global Entrepreneurship Week and it remains by some margin the nation’s largest entrepreneurship-focused campaign.
